The French National Research Program for Bioenergy will provide half the funding for a 1.2 million euro-project to develop efficient ethanol production for paper pulp. Other collaborators in this project include:

University of Bordeaux's Pine Institute

Genencor International

Tembec R&D Kraft

INSA Toulouse's Laboratory for Biotechnology & Bioprocessing

Genencor will provide its advanced biomass cellulases and application expertise to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis of various paper pulp samples provided by Tembec and the Pine Institute. In addition to providing substrate samples, Tembec will also analyze the economics to evaluate the system for commercial deployment by the pulp industry. INSA's Laboratory for Biotechnology and Bioprocessing will provide fermentation expertise through its Microbiology Engineering Team. The Pine Institute will share its expertise in pulping and handling; and, in lignocellulose analysis and characterization.

Read more about the project from Genencor's press release.
